The current market value of the stolen jewellery is estimated to be around Rs 10 to 15 lakh.
Local councillor Parmanand Kesari said that illegal activities and illegal sale of narcotics such as ganja, liquor, heroin have increased significantly in the area, due to which such criminal incidents are continuously decreasing. He said that the local administration and the police have been informed in this regard several times in the past, but no concrete action has been taken by the administration so far. There is a lot of resentment among the local residents since the incident. The councillors and residents of the locality have demanded from the police administration that the culprits should be arrested as soon as possible after conducting an impartial and thorough investigation into the matter and strict action should be taken against anti-social elements and drug dealers in the area.
